In April of 2002 Heren Istarion was a part of a sci-fi/fantasy convention, where we presented Mr. Billy Boyd aka Pippin from Peter Jackson's film treatment of The Lord of the Rings, with a bust of his character,pictures and my (Chairman) report can be seen on our main page. What I have for you today is a report that I have eagerly awaited. The report from the eyes of our ever faithful Hobbit secretary Stephwise. Just go a few steps down on our nav bar to the 'Diary of a Hobbit' Section
Have you ever delved into the 12 volume History Of Middle-Earth? I have come across a great guide to what is contained in the many tomes of the H.o.M.E, a great beginning to those who have not yet begun or not read any of our dear Professors elaborate history, the stories before The Lord of the Rings. In News across the sea, our ,Tolkien Society colleagues have a proposal for a Tolkien Centre, to find out more Information about the Tolkien Park.:
